    I did the full tasting and enjoyed a glass of their Animas Chardonnay.

I believe it was Gunner who joined us at our table. On this occasion my husband and I were on a wine tour with his brother and our sister-in-law. This was stop two. Both couples got flights of five to share. We chose Dry Rosé of Blaufränkisch, Exodus, Tyrannosaurus Red, Calico and Peach Moscato. We enjoyed our tastes on a beautiful day while sitting outside enjoying their space.

It has an industrial feel and is inside a warehouse, but right outside the tasting room is their winery and lots of amazing options for seating. The tasting room itself is cozy and you may also see their two resident cats roaming around! We were one of only two parties and soon, were solo in the tasting room which offered a great opportunity to ask questions and hear more about the winery's personal history. We even spoke to one of the vintners about the blends that make up one of their newer wines. Super cool! Many of their wines are VERY easy drinking. Head's up here, this winery can be very dangerous, lol, if you are not staying in town. We took advantage of their wine flight and choose 5 wines each. Sharing a few sips here and there gave us an opportunity to try even more. I loved so many of the whites, it was hard to choose which ones we'd take with us. What I maybe appreciated most was their handy "catalog" of each wine, the notes, dryness or maybe fruitiness and what to expect when choosing it. The staff were incredible - everything you'd want when trying new thing: friendly, educational, funny and not at all in a hurry. Carlson FTW! We took 5 bottles home! Go, maybe have lunch before and plan to take in the vineyards from their outdoor space. Gorgeous experience.

I will have to say that my star rating has a big portion to do with the experience we had which could have been determined by the time we might have gone. When we had arrived there and not a soul beside us was there for tasting (all the other wineries that day had lots of people). So it was a bit odd to walk into an empty facility with a very quiet bar tender / taster lady. She wasn't much for any conversation. We had been told it was fun, the atmosphere was friendly and the owner did the tastings and made the experience fun. But we didn't experience that at all. Now the facility was beautiful and being high on the hill, it made a nice overview of the mountains and the water creaks and ponds below. Very nice outside area. The inside is also beautiful and great since it's a house I commend them for making this so homey yet professional. Unfortunately we didn't have the experience we were hoping to, and the wine wasn't one we thought that was outstanding. I don't know I would come back, but if we do we want to experience it the way were told so we might look into their busy times and see what it was like. We were just bummed for our first taste of the day.

Amazing wine, and the best owners ever. It's not just a tasting, it's an experience. We've now been 4 times and my mom DEMANDS we go whenever she's in town visiting. I'm already thinking of when to set up the next reservation. Thank you Edwin and Shari for creating this. It's a true gem!
